Class Description

The Sicilian Cannoli has very ancient origins, it is thought to have been born in Caltanissetta, a small town in Sicily, from the hands of Arab women to honor their Saracen emir. The term "cannolo", in Sicilian dialect, stands for "small tube", refers to the typical shape of these sweets and derives from the Latin "rod".
